We destroyed the Sorcerer’s Stone.
We opened the Chamber of Secrets.
We freed the Prisoner of Azkaban.
We entered our name in the Goblet of Fire.
We joined forces with the Order of the Phoenix.
We learned from the Half-Blood Prince.
We found the Deathly Hallows.
Actually, I’ve been wanting to blog about this since Saturday when I watched the epic conclusion of the series. I cried a jillion times during the movie. I didn’t want to get up and leave the theater when it was done. But my brother and sister were like, “Let’s go! We’re the only one in here!” Haha they are such LIARS. There were like ten other people who didn’t want to leave either XD
Okay so the last movie is out. But I hope this won’t be the end of Harry Potter. You know, like J.K. Rowling should write more books about the lives of the characters or publish those textbooks that they use in Hogwarts. It would make everything seem so real! I have the Fledgling Handbook 101 by P.C. Cast who is the author of the House of Night series. It’s about this vampire school, blahblahblah, and the handbook is like the first thing they give when you get there. While reading it, I couldn’t help but think that all of the stuff in the story was real! Half the time I was debating with myself whether it was real or not. I AM SUCH A DORK.
I’ll admit, I didn’t grow up with Harry Potter. The first movie came out in 2001 when I was like four years old, I wasn’t even old enough to remember. I borrowed the Sorcerer’s Stone from my cousin when I was in fourth grade, and I just kept reading. I couldn’t see her very often, so I had to read it very slowly. Three (or four?) years ago, when the Deathly Hallows came out, my parents bought me the entire set in hardcover. Since then, Harry Potter has always been the number one series in my heart.
So, in honor of the series, I’m just going to share seven moments that I’ll forever remember (:
1. Seamus Finnigan: [in Charms class] Wingard Leviosa. Wingard…
[BOOM]
Harry: I think we’re going to need another feather over here, professor.
2. Howler (Mrs. Weasley): RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! YOUR FATHER’S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, AND IT’S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER *TOE* OUT OF LINE, WE’LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! Oh and Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are *so* proud.
[sticks out its ribbon “tongue” at Ron and tears itself up]
3. Professor Snape: [taps the blank Marauder’s Map with his wand] Reveal your secrets.
[writing appears on the map]
Professor Snape: Read it.
Harry: “Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, offer their compliments to Professor Snape and… ”
Professor Snape: Go on.
Harry: “… and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people’s business.”
4. [Professor McGonagall demonstrates a waltz with Ron as her partner]
Professor McGonagall: One-two-three, one-two-three…
Harry: [aside] You’re never gonna let him forget this, are you?
Fred, George: [shaking their heads] Never.
5. Harry Potter: Hey Big D. Beat up another 10 year old?
Dudley Dursley: This one deserved it.
Harry Potter: Five against one. That’s very brave.
Dudley Dursley: Well you’re one to talk, moaning in your sleep every night. At least I’m not afraid of my pillow. “Don’t kill Cedric!” Who’s Cedric, your boyfriend?
6. [after telling Harry to close his eyes, Ginny hides his book somewhere in the Room of Requirement, then comes back, and gives him a soft kiss on the lips]
Ginny Weasley: That can stay hidden up here too, if you like.
[a short time later, Harry is walking down the hallway, in a daze. Ron appears beside him]
Ron Weasley: So, did you and Ginny do it?
Harry Potter: [alarmed] What?
Ron Weasley: Did you hide the book?
7A. Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: [handing out Polyjuice Potion] Fair warning, it tastes like goblin piss.
Fred Weasley: Have lots of experience with that, do you, Mad-Eye?
[Moody glares]
Fred Weasley: Just trying to diffuse the tension.
7B. Molly Weasley: NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BIT**!
When I finished reading the books, I lived off the movie. Now that even the movie versions have ended, what can I live off of??? J.K. Rowling, please don’t let us die! We want more!!!! D:
